Pycon 2013 was excellent, in fact it was my first one I have attended.
|
|
|
|
I found it odd that django and Pyramid had plenty of talks but nobody
|
|
mentioned tornado.
|
|
|
|
The only person that brought up tornado was Guido himself, who has been
|
|
researching and developing async python since December 12th, 2012. Guido
|
|
wants to add async API libraries to python core, and has been comparing
|
|
his work to twisted and more importantly tornado. He is leveraging the
|
|
existing solutions to stay on the correct track.
|
|
|
|
Async API's in Python core! This news was extra exciting for me, because
|
|
I have already learned the power of async by messing around with
|
|
tornado. Since the talk many people have approached me and asked for
|
|
more information about async API's.
|
|
|
|
My favorite use for async is long polling for web applications. Here is
|
|
a diagram that shows how great tornado is:

|
|
|
|
This type of polling can support thousands of concurrent users, all
|
|
connected and waiting for a callback event to occur. I used tornado to
|
|
build `four2go <https://four2go.gumyum.com>`__, a real-time and
|
|
multi-player browser-based-game.
